In China there are 11 days of national public holiday throughout the year, and they are:

The New Year's Day-- 2 days;

The Spring Festival (also known as Chinese Lunar New Year, usually due in late January or early and mid-February)-- 3 days;

The May 1st Labor Day-- 3 days;

The October 1st National Day-- 3 days.

It is customary for people to "borrow" weekends to make the three-day holiday into a week-long holiday.

Governments of all levels and companies in China follow the five-day week system.
